How!

Make sure to read and follow the instructions
below to prepare yourself for the imperial auction!

■ Instructions
- When placing a bid, you will use the silver stored in your inventory. If you become the highest bidder, your bid cannot be canceled.
- If a higher bid is placed by another participant on an item you already placed a bid for, your bid amount will be returned to your inventory
- After the auction ends, the Adventurer who placed the highest bid will be selected as the winner, and the item can be collected through the [Imperial Auction House Manager] NPC.
- Information regarding the winners and the winning bid for each item (Family Name) will also be shared via notice. 

■ Additional Information
- The auction will end on Saturday (NA: 3PM PST/PDT) (EU: 18:00 CET) for each week of the auction event, and the highest bidder at that time will win the item (Family Name). 
- Adventurers who win the item will have their family name automatically changed according to the auction item’s name during the regular maintenance within 3 weeks after the event has ended. 
- Please do not discard the auction item until the Family Name change has been successfully completed.
- The color of the family names changed through the Imperial Auction will be the same as regular family names. 

* Please remember that once you win the family name, it cannot be canceled, so please choose wisely with caution.
* The starting bid for each family name auction is 80,000,000 silver. 
* The maximum bid amount for each item (Family Name) is 5,000,000,000,000 silver. When this maximum bid amount is reached, the Adventurer who placed the bid first will win the auction.

* Additional Notices

- Event details and duration are subject to change or cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be announced on this event page without separate notices.

- If the same Adventurer wins two or more Imperial Auction items, the item with the highest bid will be kept, and the other items will be considered unsold. If the Adventurer wins two or more items with the same bid amount, the item placed first will be kept, and the rest will be unsold. In both cases, a re-auction will be held later (schedule for the re-auction will be announced later).
- When the family name is changed through the Imperial Auction, previously recorded family names in items such as PEN (V) enhanced weapon/gear/accessory items, beauty albums, etc will not be changed (same as the 'Family Name Change Coupon' in the Pearl Shop).
- Once you win the auction, the purchase cannot be canceled, so please choose carefully.
- If you change from the imperial auction family name to another, you cannot change back to the family name obtained via imperial auction.

- Event items may be restricted in trade, sale, and usage, with varying binding settings per item. Transfer or recovery of these items is not possible.

- For details on item binding, refer to the in-game item descriptions. 

- Items or rewards, once used, cannot be recovered.
